RE: Array Index Processing

Rob,

If you are wanting to print the total associated with a year/month combination 
you must first do a lookup on the year/month array.  This will position it to 
the correct element of the array.  You can then use the index to print the 
totals.

IIRC the syntax would be something like this:
C               1               LOKUP ARRAY1            X
C                               EXCPT  MTHTOT

OPRINTER                                        MTHTOT
O                                               ARRAY2,X
